After carrying the heavy bag for a day, Zhao Chuchu earned three or four times more than others, a total of 153 coins.
Before leaving, she made an agreement with the boatman to come back early the next morning, and then walked towards the market under the envious gaze of everyone.
I bought two meat buns to fill my stomach, and then bought some meat, vegetables, and snacks, and then stopped at a jewelry stall.
I bought something and spent one hundred and twenty-eight copper coins.
After a day of hard work, I only had twenty-seven copper coins left in my pocket. It was really hard-earned.
Carrying the things she bought, Zhao Chuchu got on the ox cart back to the village.
-
Zhaojia Village.
As the sky gradually darkened, many people working in the fields began to return home carrying their hoes. Some families had already lit candles or oil lamps.
At the door of the Zhao family, a slender figure stood there for an unknown period of time, looking towards the village entrance.
At this moment, a slim figure not far away gradually came into his sight. His eyes lit up and he immediately went to meet her.
"Wife, you are back."
"Brother Yuan, why are you here? It's dark and windy. What if you get sick from the cold wind?" Zhao Chuchu hurriedly put her arm around Zhang Xiuyuan's waist and brought him into the house.
"You haven't come back all day, and it's dark now. I'm worried about you." Zhang Xiuyuan followed her in and helped put the things she bought into the kitchen.
"Why are you buying so many things again?"
Zhao Chuchu laughed and said, "It's okay. I worked today and earned some money."
"Oh, what do you do?"
Zhao Chuchu didn't answer immediately, but took out a bag of snacks.
"Brother Yuan, this is the red bean cake I bought. I heard that you like sweet things, so try it." On the oil paper, there were a few pieces of red bean paste cakes with beautiful patterns on the surface.
"This is a pastry from Chen's Pastry Shop. I heard it's a century-old shop and the pastries there are delicious." Zhao Chuchu washed her hands, picked up a piece and handed it to Zhang Xiuyuan.
"Why did you buy cakes? They are very expensive." Zhang Xiuyuan felt distressed. His family was not rich and could not afford expensive foods like cakes.
Zhao Chuchu curled her lips and said, "Why can't I buy it? I'll buy it for as long as you like it, no matter how much it costs. Come, I'll feed you."
Facing the bright and pure eyes of the person in front of him, Zhang Xiuyuan was both moved and helpless, and could not bear to say any more.
"I, I'll eat it myself." As he said that, he reached out to take the pastry.
Zhao Chuchu dodged, "No, we agreed that I would feed you."
"But……"
"No buts." As he said that, the beautifully shaped pastry was already handed to Zhang Xiuyuan's mouth.
Zhang Xiuyuan bit his lip, his ears burning. He didn't dare to look at the smiling Zhao Chuchu. After hesitating for a while, he lowered his head and took a bite.
The sweet taste instantly spreads across the taste buds, carrying with it the unique fragrance of red beans.
Zhang Xiuyuan likes sweets, but he hardly eats them. The only sweet thing he has eaten is the sugar cane his mother bought for them a few years ago.
From that moment on, he remembered the sweet taste.
He also hopes that their family life can be sweet.
But in the end, things went against our wishes.
Now, it was his second time to eat sweets.
The sweet taste spread in his mouth. Somehow, Zhang Xiuyuan had an urge to cry, but he quickly suppressed it.
"Eat more." Zhao Chuchu said.
Zhang Xiuyuan opened his mouth again and took a bite of the red bean cake.
Looking at Yuan Ge'er puffing up his cheeks like a little hamster as she fed him, Zhao Chuchu thought he was cute no matter how she looked at him and was extremely satisfied.
